Pros

Most people you directly worked with were professional and personable. Many first level managers were very good. Compensation and benefits were good.

Cons

Upper level management led by intimidation and fear. People would have anxiety attacks about coming back in after the weekend. One of the worst places to work for. Treats employees as expendable fixtures. Layoff of people is done in stages over several months to avoid WARN act.
